DRAINAGE CONNECTION FOR CLOSET BOWLS.

Application filed March 30, 1925. Serial No. 19,296.

T 0 whom it may concern" Be it known that I, ARTHUR Hess, a citizen ofthe United States, and resident of Los Angeles, in the county of LosAngeles, State of California, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Drainage Connections for Closet Bowls, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to drainage fittings for connecting water closetbowls or like .fixtures to a waste pipe line. In various structures, itis the common practice to install water closets in batteries, the bowlsbeing placed in a row and connected to a common waste line. The wasteline must be inclined at a suitable pitch to properly drain the same.The necessity of connecting the bowls to the inclined waste line andalso disposing the bowls at the same elevation requires fittings whichmay have the fixture waste openings adjustable. The primary object ofthis invention is to provide an inexpensive, simple fitting structureadapted to meet the above requirements and which is easily installed. Tothis end I have pro vided a fitting having a waste fixture outletopening in the nature of a crank arm revoluble about the waste line soas to vary the height of the outfit.

These objects together with other objects and correspondingaccomplishments are obtained by means of the embodiment of my inventionillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. l is a plan view showing a section of waste line disposed behind awall, and

my new drainage connection attached thereto;

Fig. 2 is a section as seen on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 3 indicates a wall, such asa partition of a building or a wall of a utility space. Disposed behindthe wall and extending substantially parallel thereto is a waste lineindicated generally by I. This waste line as is common inclineshorizontally. Interposed in the waste line between sections of wastepipe is a Y-fitting, the

. arm of which forms in effect a crank arm.

usual bell ends 6 for receiving the ends of the waste pipe sections insuch a manner that the joints may be caulked. The crank or lateral arm 7is provided at its open end with a similar bell end 8.

Connected to the crank arm 7 is an elbow 9 having a vent pipe opening10. The forward end of the elbow is adapted to be passed through thewall 3, and, to adjust its length, it is provided with annularcorrugations indicated by 11. This construction is such as to providefor easy severing a suitable length from the end of the elbow so that itwill project the proper distance into the wall. A chair carrier 12 isdisposed at the wall and serves to support the weight of the fixture.

In installing the fixtures, the Y-member is placed in position in thewaste line and turned so that the crank arm 7 disposes the elbow at alevel registering with the opening in the chair. The length of the elbowarm is then fixed by severing the desired amount therefrom. The jointsare then caulked, thereby completing the conection. The fixture is thenconnected to the end of the elbow in the usual manner.

What I claim is:

1. The combination with an inclined horizontal waste line of a Y-fittinghaving a run connected thereto so as to be rotatably adjustable andinterposed in said line, the lateral arm having an opening with its axisparallel to said line, an elbow connected to said lateral arm so as tobe rotatably adjustable, and a carrier engaging the forward arm of saidelbow and serving as a support.

2. A drainage fixture connection comprising the combination of aninclined horizontal waste line, a Y-fitting having a run interposed insaid line so as to permit rotatable adjustment, the lateral arm of saidfitting being revolubly adjustable thereby, a carrier chair, and anelbow section connected to said arm so as to be rotatably adjustable,the forward arm of said elbow extending laterally of said waste line andbeing mounted in an opening in said carrier chair and packed therein.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my namethis 20th day of March, 1925.

ARTHUR HESS.
